The directing judge was unmistakably irate over the nonappearance of the litigants in spite of the issuance of hearing notification. Equity Aliyu requested seat warrant against the team for disdain of court.

Aliyu and Nasko are being indicted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over their supposed inclusion in about N2 billion illegal tax avoidance and other budgetary wrongdoings.
